re mpg remember these schoolies are designed to tote or kids from bus stop to bus stop in other words monster acceleration is built in you can do a few fairly easy mods that will increase mpg significantly change the final drive gears add an od and shorten the driveshaft you can even swap out the tranny for something with higher gearing for the truly talented do all these things and double your mpg on the highway well worth it over k miles we had an ancient bluebird averaging mpg at mph you could do much better with one of these newcool schoolies luck
